I died tragically in my previous life, and I want to be an empress in my next life

"Yongtai, it's late at night and the weather is getting colder. Please take care of yourself." Xuanyuan Che said softly, his tone revealing deep concern.

Princess Yongtai looked at Xuanyuan Che, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes, and she smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Sixth Brother, for coming to see me so late."

Xuanyuan Che looked at Princess Yongtai with relief in his eyes. Princess Yongtai had lived in the Sixth Prince's Mansion for more than a month, and her mental state had improved greatly.

He knew Princess Yongtai's inner fragility and sensitivity, so he had been carefully protecting her, hoping that she could get out of the haze as soon as possible and regain her former happiness and confidence. Seeing her current situation, Xuanyuan Che felt extremely relieved and satisfied.

"Yongtai, you will always be the cutest sister in my brother's eyes." Xuanyuan Che's voice became softer, and his eyes were full of pampering and love. This sentence was not only a comfort and encouragement to Princess Yongtai, but also a testimony to the deep brother-sister relationship between them.

When Princess Yongtai heard this, tears flashed in her eyes. She knew that in the complicated palace, it was her greatest luck to have such a brother who cared about her and loved her.

She took a deep breath, trying to hold back her tears, and then smiled and responded, "Me too, I will always cherish the brother-sister relationship between us."

The two looked at each other and smiled. The warmth and harmony at that moment seemed to envelop the entire world.

Under the moonlight, Princess Yongtai's figure appeared softer and more determined. She raised her head slightly, with a resolute light flashing in her eyes, as if she was ready to face unknown challenges.

"Sixth brother, I will move back to the palace tomorrow." Although her voice was calm, it revealed an unshakable firmness.

Xuanyuan Che was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Princess Yongtai would suddenly propose to move back to the palace. He knew that Princess Yongtai's decision to move back to the palace meant that she was ready to face the pain and memories of the past.

He sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and worry in his eyes. "Don't worry, you can stay here as long as you want."

Princess Yongtai shook her head gently, with a determined light in her eyes. "Brother, I know you are worried and concerned. But there are some things that I still have to face by myself. I can't keep running away, nor can I always rely on your and my brothers' protection. I have to learn to be independent and learn to solve problems by myself."

"Since you have made your decision, go ahead." Xuanyuan Che's tone revealed a sense of helplessness and blessing, "Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must face them with strength and believe in yourself. I will always be by your side, supporting you and protecting you."

When Princess Yongtai heard this, a hint of gratitude and warmth flashed in her eyes.

"Yongtai, there is no one here tonight. Can you tell your brother what happened on the mountain that day?" Xuanyuan Che looked up at the bright moon in the sky and asked calmly.

Princess Yongtai lowered her head, the tenderness she had just shown disappeared, and hatred appeared in her eyes again. She had also heard the rumors about Pei Zhiyan and Xuanyuan Che, and she didn't expect that the only person closest to her would be taken away by her again.

"Brother, she is a vicious woman!" she said hatefully.

"If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"

Princess Yongtai became excited again as she spoke, tears flashing in her eyes.

Xuanyuan Che knew that the vicious woman she was talking about was Pei Zhiyan. Seeing her so excited, he felt a little reluctant and didn't want to stimulate her anymore. However, if he didn't untie this knot with her today, she would not be willing to return to the palace. He didn't know if he would save her if she made a mistake again next time!

"Why are you there? Why are the assassins from the Loyalty Marquis' Mansion also there?" Xuanyuan Che asked calmly.

"Me?" Princess Yongtai hesitated, "I was harmed by that vicious woman!"

"You should have been in the palace, why did you run to that place? You once promised your royal brother that you would live well, why did you get involved in this dispute?" Xuanyuan Che couldn't help but question.

These days, Xuanyuan Che has also found out that all this was a conspiracy set up by Xuanyuan Si and the eldest princess behind the scenes, and Yongtai was also a pawn in their hands.

Imperial families have been ruthless since ancient times. He doesn't mind the brothers fighting openly or secretly for the throne, but why should innocent people be involved?

Don’t they care about brotherhood at all?

Princess Yongtai knew how smart Xuanyuan Che was. He probably understood the general situation of the matter, so there was no need for her to hide it any longer.

"I want to live a good life, but I really don't want to give up!" Princess Yongtai cried.

Originally, she was planning to live a dull life in the palace, but the eldest princess sent someone to find her. She said that as long as she cooperated with them, she would let the prince and his mother go when they had accomplished their great cause.

Then, at that time, she could take her brother the Crown Prince and her mother and run away, leaving the cage of the palace and away from the struggle for power.

Her mother was locked up in the cold palace, and she went to see her. It was dark and damp there, and her mother suffered torture and humiliation there. Every night when it was quiet, she would think of her mother's haggard face and desperate eyes, and could only shed tears secretly.

She must rescue her mother, so that she can truly live well with her brother the Crown Prince and her mother.

"Stop it." Xuanyuan Che said calmly, "You are cooperating with them, which is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger."

Princess Yongtai wiped the tears from her face. Her eyes were stubborn and resolute. "I have fallen into this situation now. What else do I have to fear?"

Xuanyuan Che turned around, and the moonlight shone on his cold face, forming a sharp line. He said in a cold voice, "At this point, you are still the most honorable princess of the Great Zhou! Why do you think so little of yourself!"

Princess Yongtai was silent for a moment, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips. "The most honorable princess of the Great Zhou? If the world knew about that, I would be the biggest joke of the Great Zhou, right?!"

"Yongtai, your dignity and power are innate, no one dares to laugh at you!" Xuanyuan Che's tone softened.

"Don't comfort me. I understand my situation." Princess Yongtai shook her head, and a hint of hatred appeared in her eyes again. "As long as I am alive, I will not let that vicious woman go!"

Xuanyuan Che looked at Yongtai's stubborn look, and felt a pain in his heart. He said cruelly, "If you make mistakes again, my brother will not help you!"

Princess Yongtai raised her head and stared at Xuanyuan Che, her voice revealing a deep disappointment and anger, "So, the rumor is true!"

"My brother also likes that vicious woman, so he protects her so much, right?!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" He raised his voice, trying to hide his panic. But Princess Yongtai had already seen the evasion and uneasiness in his eyes.

She knew that her guess was correct.

"Royal brother, I don't want to make things difficult for you. If you still have my sister in your heart, you can just stand aside and watch the grudge between her and me." Princess Yongtai said coldly.

After she finished speaking, she stood up and left resolutely.
